That amount of luck seems over the top.

I liked the draft that made a few teams' players available each round. We didn't know which teams until the round began. Don't recall if it was normal draft order.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Couldn't watch after Nique and Kobe were the first two picks. Why do they always have such dopes doing these? :lol:

Teams get so stacked, it’s hard to judge.

That game’s drafters seemed more intent on showing respect to players than to building a team. Kobe before MJ? Picking himself?

I was thinking about this. What if we just did the draft just like they did, but we don't have any sort of judging period? Just draft and see what our teams look like compared to the people in the video? Could be a rather simple thing. Just need 8
